Upper Mustang trek Reviews

“We were meant to go on the Upper Mustang trek to Lo Manthang, but they were having the snowiest winter in 10 years. We had to change our plans considerably and only made it as far as Tangbe. Mustang was beautiful and clear, especially with the snow, and we had the rare experience of seeing a snow leopard in the wild. From there we went closer to Pokhara and trekked around a bit before returning a few days early to Kathmandu. Our guide said that normally trekking in Mustang that time of year is doable, but it was too snowy for us to make it all the way to Lo Manthang. It was a unique experience. The tea houses were all super nice, and we enjoyed the food along the way.”

“The Unique Adventures guides and porters made the trip possible and amazing. They became friends almost immediately. The trip provides almost everything for you, which makes it easy to focus on the scenery and fellow trekkers. I went during the summer and experienced little rain, however there were also no mountain views. The trek is mostly along jeep roads which is something to be aware of. The towns and monasteries are the highlights of the trek. You experience so much of the Nepal/Tibetan culture. Tea houses were cozy and had surprisingly many amenities (hot showers, clean water, comfy mattresses). All in all was a great experience!”

“We did a 3 prs trek in april-may 2018 from Jomsom to Lo Mantang and back. Wonderful area to experience after 4 previous treks in the more eastern part of Nepal and high altitude landscapes. This area is totally different to the landscape of Annapurna, Everest and Langtang and it was a great experience to broaden the perspectives and knowledge about Nepal by visiting this area. Roads are much less travled by tourists here in the upper part. However, the road construction has a major impact on the experience as a trekker. Can only recommend to ask your trekking company to find alternatives to the road where ever possible as the road is very dull and dusty to walk and also busy with heavy trucks morning and afternoon.
The larger expenses charged for visiting this area is well worth it. Tea-houses are good and lees busy than other areas and the culture has a different history than other valleys. Beautiful combination of apple fields, willow trees, corn and crops in well-kept farming and the last of horse caravan history in the area still around.
Don't miss out on this gem!”

“I was recommend Upper Mustang as the best trek option in Nepal in July/August and turned out to be the best choice. The Region is not affected by monsoon so we didn’t get any rain and the landscape was amazing. The homestays and the local food make it an extremely authentic adventure that I would recommend. Unique Adventure International is willing to support with lot of reliable information and details to make your trek a safe and enjoyable experience. They speak very good English and their guides and porters are really well trained and prepared and will definitely make your trek an outstanding one”

“I and my partner did Upper Mustang Trek with Himalayanleisure in June 2018. It was a great experience. The flights couldn't happen due to bad weather so we took a private jeep which was an adventure. The trek was arranged nicely and the staffs were very caring. Our guide and porter made the trek possible. It is a beautiful trek I can recommend to other people in rainy season in Nepal. In general, when we reach high, there was no rain.”

“Very friendly guide, amazing boss who has been to Malaysia 3 times and very strong porter. The services provided were more than our expectations. A truly beautiful trekking in Nepal. The jeep from Jomsom to Beni is tiring and definitely no if options are available.”

“Mustang area is unique and has a awesome mix of labdscapes. Tibetan culture was kept in its purest form with the ancient palaces, gompas and the villages. The trekking permit has kept the region rather exclusive and original.”

“It was me and my friend first time in Nepal. We did upper Mustang trekking with Asian Journeys. The price was reasonable. Our Guide and porter were really great. They are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Everything was organized very well and booked correctly by Mr Surya owner of this company. It was a great experience and we like to highly recommend Asian Journeys Team to everyone who is planning to do a trek in Nepal.”
